Farecoal: There he go

I have an older brother with high-functioning autism. He's actually very social, loves music, is terrible at math*, so he's kind of the opposite of the autism stereotype. He hits himself a lot, especially when he gets stressed

*As in, has problems adding and subtracting

This is why we try to avoid functioning labels in the autistic community. We're like everybody else in that we're better at some things than others.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend

My brother has always identified as high functioning so I didn't really think of the problems with that kind of labeling
